No one seems to make a rear carbon fibre tower for the B4. You could get the alloy mount from a T4 carbon set and get some one to make a rear tower though.

I'd say the rear tower was one of the weakest points on the B4. They always snap at the same point every time they go...and the carbon components were the worst.

Sorry...I mean the carbon composite not the carbon fibre.
The closest thing you can get to it is the T4 carbon fibre shock tower with alloy mount. I think they were made by Kfactory

Only thing is, the top corners sit a little higher than the standard B4 rear towers.
